1997 it was a very different world, the way we spoke about trans-people... we had little understanding. All I could do at the time was reassure the different trans activist groups who were concerned I was playing the role that I was their ally.
I think there would have been unbearable pressure on a trans-actor coming out in such a public way on a huge and controversial storyline. It wasn't why I left but [my exit] came at the exact right time.
I went on a two-week trip to China with my family. My children speak Chinese, which is a superpower. It means that I have an experience of China that I couldn't otherwise have. We can dive into the midst of something and not fear getting lost or getting ripped off or any number of things. So we go into the night markets... My husband, mainly to amuse the children, ate a skewer of scorpions, grilled before him on the griddle.
